Mongolia Tours

Mongolia Tours

Welcome to find our main tours and trips offer below.

Over the years we have learnt from our guest’s traveling less is seeing more! Why travel less is seeing more is due to the poor infrastructure across Mongolia. All our feedback forms indicate this. Probably due to the time it takes to see many places is slower in more disproportionate ways in Mongolia compared to elsewhere. Where there are smooth tarmac roads, railways and domestic air routes with daily or several connections each day, travel time getting from a place to another is faster. At the same time the core experience after having traveled in Mongolia lies not in going a lot of places. Rather it lies in “being in places”! Mongolia’s rather pristine landscapes are available in most places and its nomadic people spread out near and far across the land. None of these experiences are site specific. You will however find that going further south will lead you to arid habitats, and only the north has numerous rivers. Do have a look at our Destinations and Regions section to find out more about different vegetation zones and habitats, which in turn imposes restrictions on livelihood approaches for local people, which in turn are reflected in the different life styles across Mongolia. For example, there are reasons for nomads to have camels in certain areas, and yaks in others. Nomadic migrations are also determined by quality of pastures. Less precipitation leads to poor pastures, which in turn forces nomads to migrate more in search for best pastures, consequently nomads are less in such areas (arid Southern Gobi areas).

We the Nomadic Journeys offers variety of tours and trips throughout Mongolia.

For groups we may customize itineraries and make tailor made itinerary for you. Through our extensive network of overseas partners, we offer more tours and trips than visible on this website and you will get links to these trips by looking at our reservations pages.

For independent travelers we offer self-guided trips to a few destinations, which are the most cost effective ways of getting off the beaten track on your own. You will still be able to stay within the basic comforts at one of our Mongolian ger (yurt) camps. These trips are the most cost efficient if you travel alone, or you are restricted with time. We offer a departure each day to any of our four main destinations in this way.

The fixed dated departures, enables you to join small group for treks and horse ride tours in truly nomadic style of journeys. Travel in Mongolia, off the beaten track is going to most places devoid of any tourism infrastructure, why you have to be self-sufficient bringing your tents, cooks and the support of yaks, camels and horses in caravans. Sometimes you need book early in order to get space on the trip. The trips operate with a minimum of two members.

Nomadic Journeys has – over the years – offered many luxury travel tours and trips for discerning travelers. For independent travelers going it alone, we operate daily departures to the most common destinations. You find these at classical tours. Short trip to festivals such as Naadam Festival in Ulaanbaatar, Naadam Festival in the rural area and Golden Eagle Festival and other specialty travel are found at special trips. Special trips may be customized trips to snow leopard habitats open for anyone to join or a course in Mongolian traditional medicine – if any – that year.

We have been guiding our guests to the natural world since more than a decade and now offer solid partnerships with nature conservation organizations, who we work in tandem with, in certain places. At fly fishing tours, you will be introduced to our partnership with World Wide Fund for Nature WWF, and how to sports fish responsibly when choosing Mongolia. Moreover, you may find the best in-country birding holidays and nature trails to the destinations which are best for avifauna and mammals.

A small section of what is available in our winter you will get at winter tours and our short trip to the nearby national parks.

For any specifics please consult and contact us directly. We will be happy to reply, and also direct you to an agent in or near your country who may assist you with appropriate airline reservations.

What our guests say

We appreciate your feedback about our tours and services.

  • Living the mongolian way

    Great place to stay and experience mongolian way of living, no tv, wifi, phone. Just nature and great company of the staff and livestocks of mongolia. The toilet is a hole in the ground covered by a shed. It is clean, but can be smelly to those used to city life. Not hot water supply, inform the staff that you like to hot water half an hour earlier so that they can boil it over camel dung 🙂
